Ran PCR on lake trout DNA and lake trout bisulfite-converted DNA. Used primers SRIDs: 1551 and 1552. DNA was isolated by Caroline Storer on 4/4/2011 and bisulfite converted on 4/7/2011. Master mix and cycling params are here:

Samples:
Lake Trout Lean_6 Liver
Lake Trout Lean_7 Liver
Lake Trout Siscowet_6 Liver
Lake Trout Siscowet_7 Liver
Bisulfite converted DNA from the four samples listed above.
Results:
Lane 1: Hyperladder II (Bioline)
Lane 2: Lean6
Lane 3: Lean6 BS
Lane 4: Lean7
Lane 5: Lean7 BS
Lane 6: Siscowet6
Lane 7: Siscowet6 BS
Lane 8: Siscowet7
Lane 9: Siscowet7 BS
All the non-BS converted samples amplified as expected, producing a band of ~560bp. However, none of the BS-converted DNA produced any amplification. It is likely an issue with the primer sequences and the resulting conversion of the gDNA.
Will look at Caroline Storer’s notebook entries for her work on this and try to evaluate what has already been done.
